Add-on Is there an addon that can exclude users from New Posts feed?

We already have the tick box at a forum level to include threads in the "new posts" feed, but is there an addon to allow a similar thing at a user level?

I haven't seen one. Have you looked at the Resources manager? If there is such an add-on it will be there I guess.

I did have a good search, using include and exclude. Coulnd't find anything.

I built an addon that does this: New Posts Filter

It adds an "Excluded from New Posts" page under your Account settings (right next to "Ignoring" in the sidebar). You can search for any username and add them to your exclusion list. Threads started by or last replied to by those users won't show up in your New Posts feed.

Unlike the built-in Ignore feature, this only affects the New Posts feed, everything else (viewing their posts in threads, conversations, etc.) stays the same.

Free, no branding, works on XF 2.3. Hope it helps! If you need any changes to it, let me know!

I'd like to be able to do that at an admin level to exclude a user from ever being in new posts. For everyone.

This is because we have dealer users that create a lot of content in a short amount of time in lots of different forums. It dominates new posts if you aren't careful.

Understood, I'll make the required modifications and release an update to the addon. I'll update you shortly.

Feel free to try the version 1.1.0 of the addon. (https://xenforo.com/community/resources/new-posts-filter.10333/updates)

New Features

• Admin option: "Globally excluded users" - specify users whose threads are hidden from the New Posts feed for ALL users site-wide. Uses XenForo's native token-input autocomplete for easy username entry.
• Admin option: "Allow per-user exclusions" (on/off toggle, default ON) - controls whether individual users can manage their own exclusion lists via Account settings. When disabled, the account page and nav link are hidden.

Improvements

• New option group "New Posts Filter" in AdminCP > Options
• Account sidebar nav link is now conditionally shown based on the per-user toggle
• Account page now includes proper sidebar navigation and uses standard XenForo member list styling
• Thread filtering merges both global and per-user exclusion lists into a single SQL filter

Upgrade Notes

• Existing v1.0.0 installs upgrade seamlessly - per-user exclusions remain enabled by default
• No database migration needed
• Install via AdminCP > Add-ons > Install/upgrade from archive
